I think this all depends on how understanding your flight attendants are. The pets are supposed to stay in their carriers. But I have heard others that have gotten by with taking them out for a little reassurance when they were flying. I guess all they can really do is ask that you put them back in the carrier. I figured I would at least open the end and put my hand in to pet and soothe Annie. She travels very well in the car so I thought she would be fine.
It probably is for the best this trip to leave her with grandma since it is going to be a quick land, go to the game, and return on a 5:30 am flight the next morning. But still, I would have liked to have her along. I would spend the money if I was staying longer. Think I will just save her first flight for the next time I fly up to see my oldest son in Virginia.
Cally -- thanks for the kayak.com site! I will use that next time. I know what you mean about college not having the same feeling/excitement as high school. My son says he misses high school football so much! Most of those boys played together from the time they were really young (6 years old for my son) and they had a comraderie that will last a lifetime. College might get better as we go -- this is just Freshman year and they are just getting to know each other.
